The Hardest Part (Original Demo)

I thought that everybody gets older
But I guess that's not the case
'Cause you said goodbye to your family last night
You were only twenty-eight
And the year is gonna get a lot colder
But you'll always be stuck in June
When the trees turn red, will it hit me then
That I'm not gonna see you soon?

I never said goodbye
And now it's sinking in
That the last time I saw you
We were kids
I guess the hardest part
Of getting old
Is that some people that you love don't

I thought that everybody gets better
But I guess that's not the truth
Took a drive last night
Tried to clear my mind
But I turned the whole highway blue
Yeah, the only thing that went through my head was you

I never said goodbye
And now it's sinking in
That the last time I saw you
We were kids
I guess the hardest part
Of getting old
Is that some people that you love don't

And I don't know what to
Say to your little brother
Who am I to say it's gonna be okay?
My mom's friends with your mother
Catching up is never gonna be the same
No more texts on your birthday
Every time another friend says your name
No, I don't know what to say

I never said goodbye
And now it's sinking in
That the last time I saw you
We were kids
I guess the hardest part
Of getting old
Is that some people that you love don't

I wish I would've tried harder to stay in touch
I thought we had more time
Too busy growing up
I guess the hardest part
Of getting old
Is that some people that you love don't

I don't know what to say to your little brother
Who am I to say it's gonna be okay?
My mom's friends with your mother
Catching up is never gonna be the same
No more texts on your birthday
Every time another friend says your name
No, I don't know what to say
